Abstract:

Gas sensors play a key role in daily life, contributing actively to toxic- and explosive-gas alarms, automotive cabin air-quality control, health care, household appliances and so on. Therefore, tremendous efforts have been recently made to design and fabricate reliable and durable sensors with high sensitivity and selectivity, as well as fast response, toward various gases. This work focuses on chemi-resistive gas sensors prepared via the chemical bath deposition approach, such as nanoarrays of CdO, which demonstrate promise in detecting certain volatile organic compounds, having high selectivity, sensitivity and fast response time. The preparation, characterization and performance of such sensors are described and sensing mechanisms are commented.
